the ground for the keys,literally.Indeed,when she opened the door to leave the house at11pm for the movies despite my words,I actually wrestled my16-year-old daughter to the ground.I did not know how to deal with a rebellious(叛逆的)teenager.We are a family of strong wills,from the top down.All my kids had pushed and argued.Everyone“kind of”followed the rules.As they got older,especially when they hit high school,I saw the power shifting,but it hadn’t been so obvious.I had not seen much in-your-face rebellion.Until this happened.I called Amy Speidel,a wise and practical parenting expert.She stayed on the phone with me and listened to my wild complaint about my disrespectful kid.She listened for almost two hours and then gave me some suggestions.Amy told me that my daughter’s behavior was“developmentally appropriate”-she was supposed to test the boundaries.Amy also said that it was great that my daughter would be able to stand up for herself in a relationship that wasn’t working.Those comments really made me feel awful.I hadn’t considered anything positive abouther behavior—but outside of our mother-daughter relationship,I would never want to devalue my daughter’s strong will.After talking with Amy,I realized that I was the one who needed help understanding discipline vs control.Honestly,I did hate that the responsibility was on me.I wanted permission to scream and punish.But I listened to Amy and here’s what I learned.1.My daughter’s behavior was normal.That eased my fears that I had raised a terrible human and failed as a mother.2.My daughter’s strong personality was a strength.That revelation was a huge gift.I value her qualities but don’t want them used against me.I will soften my response and listen to her.3.I went crazy.In fact,I crossed a line.And that happens.But I learned to apologize and reset so that we could move forward.My job,therefore,is to learn new responses that offer my daughter options and realistic consequences,not empty threats.And hopefully,this will change my relationship with my daughter.24．What is the actual reason the author had a fight with her daughter?A．The daughter wouldn’t give her the keys.B．The daughter didn’t come back until11pm.C．The daughter insisted on going out late at night.D．The daughter wanted to go to the movies with friends.25．The comments made the author feel“awful”because_______.A．she had helped her daughter to test boundariesB．she didn’t treasure the mother-daughter relationshipC．she thought Amy was criticizing her daughter’s upbringingD．she hadn’t noticed the desirable aspects of her daughter’s behavior26．After the phone call,the author learned that______.A．her daughter’s strong character should be softenedB．she should constructively deal with conflictC．her daughter should control her behaviorD．she should admit her failure as a mother27．According to Amy,what should the author say if the same situation happens again?A．“Do you really think you can just walk out the door like that?”B．“It’s not safe to be out so late.What about tomorrow afternoon?”C．“It doesn’t matter whether you go out or not.I will support you.”D．“You have been disrespectful and can’t go out tonight.Is that clear?”Laughing together is an important way for people to connect and bond.And though the causes of laughter can vary widely across individuals and groups,the sound of a laugh is usually recognizable between people belonging to different cultures.But what about animals?Do they“laugh”?And are the causes of animal and human laughter alike?In humans,people may laugh when they hear a joke,or when they see something that they think is funny,though it’s unknown if animals’intelligence includes what humans would call a sense of humor.However,many animals produce sounds during play that are unique to that pleasant social interaction.Researchers consider such vocalizations to be similar to human laughter. Recently,scientists investigated play vocalization to see how common it was among animals. The team identified65species that“laughed”while playing—most were mammals(哺乳动物),but a few bird species demonstrated playful laughter too.Reports of playful laughter were notably absent in studies describing fish,perhaps because there is some question as to whether or not play exists at all in that animal group.This new study could help scientists to analyze the origins of human laughter.But how can we identify play?Unlike fighting,play is usually repetitive and happens independently of other social behaviors,said lead study author Sasha Winkler,a doctor of biological anthropology at the University of California.When it comes to identifying it,“you know it when you see it,”Winkler told Live Science.One sign is that primates—our closest relatives—have a“play face”that is similar to the expressions of humans who are playing.When Winkler previously worked with rhesus macaques,she had noticed that the monkeys panted(喘气)quietly while playing.Many other primates are also known to vocalize during play,she said,so a hypothesis(laughter in humans is thought to have originated during play)supported by the play-related panting laughter of many primate species was put forward.People now still laugh during play,but we also integrate laughter into language and non-play behaviors,using laughter in diverse ways to express a range of emotions that may be positive or negative.Human laughter notably differs from other animals’laughter inanother important way:its volume.People broadcast their laughter loudly,often as a way of establishing inclusion.By comparison,when most animals laugh,the sound is very quiet—just loud enough to be heard by the laugher’s partner.“It’s really fascinating that so many animals have a similar function of vocalization during play,”Winkler told Live Science.“But we do have these unique parts of human laughter that are also an important area for future study."28．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain causes of animal and human laughter.B．To assess complexities regarding animal laughter.C．To present findings on the existence of animal laughter.D．To analyze differences between animal and human laughter.29．What can we learn from this passage?A．Animal laughter is even noticeable in fish.B．Animal laughter is hard to recognize during play.C．People have learned to combine play with laughter.D．People laugh loudly because they want to involve others.30．What is probably the focus of future study on laughter?A．Distinctive features of human laughter.B．Different functions of animal laughter.C．The origin and development of human laughter.D．The relationship between animal laughter and intelligence.Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate(模仿)his own songs,the musician Nick Cave delivered a strong response:it was“an absolutely horrible attempt”.He understood that AI was in its babyhood,but could only conclude that the true horror might be that“it will forever be in its babyhood”.While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote,it would never grow beyond“a kind of burlesque(滑稽的模仿)”,because robots-being composed of data-are unable to suffer,while songs arise out of suffering.Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable,but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily be able to tell the difference.A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of12,and they were only unitedly right in oneD．The quality of AI art dismisses concerns about intellectual property. 34．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．The Creative Thief:AI Makes Perfect ArtB．AI in Art:A Battle That Must Be FoughtC．Threat or Opportunity:The Impact of AI on ArtD．The Rise of AI Art:What It Means to Human Artists四、七选五B．This is especially so when it comes to staying fit.C．Not having a clearly defined exercise plan can hurt.D．We often wish to go back to our two-year-old selves.E．For instance,you can schedule a weekly gym visit with friends.F．Still,there’s a real disconnect between what we know and what we do.G．The most puzzling part of our inactive nature is that we don’t start out that way.五、阅读表达阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。

As a student at this institution, I believe it is essential to have well-maintained sports facilities that will benefit not only the students but also the school as a whole.Firstly, the current condition of the sports facilities is deplorable. The tennis courts have cracked surfaces, the basketball hoops are rusty, and the running track is full of potholes. These conditions not only pose a safety risk to students but also hinder our ability to fully enjoy and participate in sports activities. A proper maintenance plan should be implemented to ensure that the facilities are safe and in good working condition.Secondly, a well-maintained sports facility will greatly enhance our school's reputation. With well-kept facilities, we can attract more talented athletes and host sporting events. This will not only boost school spirit but also provide opportunities for students to showcase their talents and excel in sports. Moreover, a well-equipped and maintained sports facility will make our school more appealing to prospective students and their parents.Lastly, regular maintenance of sports facilities is a cost-effective solution. Ignoring maintenance issues will only lead to more significant problems in the long run, resulting in higher repair costs. By investing in regular maintenance, we can prevent major damage and extend the lifespan of the facilities. This will save the school money in the future and ensure a sustainable approach to maintaining the sports facilities.In conclusion, I strongly urge the school administration to prioritize the maintenance of our sports facilities. Doing so will not only create a safer and more enjoyable environment for students but also boost our school's reputation and save costs in the long run. I believe that a well-maintained sports facility is imperative for our school's overall development and success.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Yours sincerely,[Your Name]参考译文：亲爱的校长：我写信是为了表达我对学校体育设施维护不善的深切关注。

You may have heard of the famous workplace communication software, Slack. Many companies use Slack to virtually communicate across teams.

But after raising millions of dollars to fund the game development, the company ultimately 2 the project because the game failed to attract enough users.The 3 goal of the company wasn’t achieved. However, during the process of creating their game, something else happened. The team realized that the 4 system they created to accompany the game was worth investing more time in.
